60W naked

I smashed the glass (deliberately) of a 60W lamp. This is a stack of five shots.

Does the wire still glow if the glass is broken? Could make an interesting shot as well.

It could be dangerous to do that as it would be live. However, I have shot some with the glass still in place. I used a table lamp with a small in-line diffuser control (you can get them in electrical shops) to lower the power level.

I agree would make for a cool shot. But may not last long. Intact bulb has vacuum inside. In open air the filament would get much hotter due to oxygen in the air, and will burn out quickly. But at low enough voltage might stay lit for a while.

Very cool shot. Like the ideas.
